The Chrysalis

The Chrysalis: Monarch Center for the Arts is a 6,000 square foot arts space in Barrio Logan with a dedicated 100-seat theatre, dance studio, visual art classroom, and storefront gallery. The Chrysalis provides theatre, music, dance and visual arts programs for all ages in the community, including programs for 0-5 and their families.

Our mission is to create arts-based spaces that allow community members of all ages to access, amplify, and elevate their voice, self-expression, identity, agency, and sense of belonging.  We envision a world where youth and adults use the tools and resources of the arts to help imagine, create, and build the vibrant and successful life they desire and deserve.
